Frequently asked questions
No, it's not the same.
Alignment involves setting the wheels on each axle in parallel, and the axles parallel to each other, adjusting wheel angles so that the car steering does not drift to one side, as well as ensuring driver comfort and good grip for the tyres, thus guaranteeing safety at the wheel.
Balancing is a mechanical process of adjusting the wheels to prevent vehicle vibration at any speed, no matter what type of driving is used.
The modern car is built for comfort, performance and handling. In order to achieve and maintain the best ride possible, the steering and suspension needs to be measured and adjusted within the motor manufacturer’s specifications. This can only be done by measuring all four wheels and having a proper full four wheel alignment measurement.
Wheel alignment can be affected by hitting the kurb or a large pothole in the road or travelling regularly on gravel roads. If alignment is out, it can cause excessive wear to your tyres and problems with steering or suspension.
FIRST STOP - Banks Tyres customer reviews
"Very professional and courteous staff."
"Simply the best 👍"
"Very efficient and great value with hugh stock"
"I had a rental car from Hertz with a slow tire leak and was told that tire damage would be my responsibility. Hertz directed me to Banks Tyres in Cork, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The team at Banks Tyres provided prompt and professional service, quickly diagnosing that the leak was from an old plug repair. I fully expected to pay for the repair and then deal with Hertz afterward. But to my surprise, John Banks, the proprietor, took the initiative to call Hertz directly on my behalf. He arranged it so the repair was covered by Hertz — meaning no charge to me. This kind of proactive and customer-first service is rare these days. Thanks to John and his team, I was back on the road quickly and able to continue my vacation stress-free. If you ever need tire service in Cork, I highly recommend Banks Tyres — they go above and beyond!"
